What’s it all about?
Batteries. More specifically, software enabled batteries helping to make Electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and wearables, more efficient, providing better customer experiences. I speak to another start-up spun out of Imperial College London, with a novel and proven set of products and technologies moving forward the transition towards better, longer lasting and faster charging vehicles and devices. A great spin-out journey. I hope you enjoy the episode.

About Dr. Ian Campbell:
Ian is passionate about mathematics, computing and batteries. He cares about climate protection and dreams of a world with clean air. He’s excited by a future with electric cars, boats and aircraft but frustrated by the barriers imposed by current battery technologies. In response, he began researching lithium-ion batteries at Imperial College London in 2015. In 2019 he graduated with a PhD in the topic and experience consulting to a range of industries. Today, he merges his passions at Breathe, where he and his team are working to overcome those barriers.
Outside of work, he enjoys competing in motorsport and triathlons. Since 2019 he prepares, runs and drives a Formula Ford in events such as the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone.
• PhD in lithium-ion battery engineering
• Consulted on vehicle electrification to a range of industries
• Produced battery modelling codes used around the world
• Published in leading electrochemistry journals on optimal cell design using physics-based battery models and cell-health evaluation using real-time capable methods
